Skillsoft Corp.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and principal financial officer or officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of January 31, 2026. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of January 31, 2026.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and effected by our Board, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Skillsoft; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of Skillsoft are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of Skillsoft; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of Skillsoft’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 31, 2026, using the criteria set by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control— Integrated Framework (2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that Skillsoft’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 31, 2026.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting, which appears in Part II, Item 8 of this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d‑15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Management recognizes that Skillsoft’s internal control over financial reporting cannot prevent or detect all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to use judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
